Sengoku burai

You wander a war-torn land as Hayate, a samurai fleeing a burning fortress. Wounded and hidden by O’Ryo, you stir feelings in her before a deadly mistake forces you on the run again. She follows. Meanwhile, your comrade Yaheiji admires her from afar. The era insists every wound is paid with honor, not words.
